I really like the food here. It costs a bit more than other asian restaurants that offer similar higher end western food, but the cakes at this place are awesome. I usually like to pick up birthday cakes here because they are that good!

Very poor service on a busy Sunday afternoon.
Our waiter did not write down our selections and tried to keep it all in his mind. (9 people). He mixed up our orders and forgot one dish. He came back and said I have 3 dish 'a'. 2 dish 'b' etc. But as we didn't know what each other ordered, We had to talk amonsgt ourselves to find what he missed.
A problem that could have been solved if he just wrote down our orders!!
All our meals came with a choce of soup. A choice that was denied to us. He just came out and brought some soups until someone from our group said 'so we don't get a choice?'. Only then did he say 'oh ya, you can also have the borsht if you want.'
The cream of asparagus soup was a bit thick and clearly sat out and was reheated (thick soup skin).
Bread was cold too.
Fettuccine bolognese was good looking; slightly oversauced. but again bad service ensued when he just shoved a fork into my plate. No 'excuse me'. Not putting it to the side.
Another consequence of bad order taking is the wrong dishes were delivered to the wrong people.
Other mains are pork chop, beef brisket, florentine. All were average.
We had all finished and after a while we had to ask for our drinks. Another mark of poor service. No water refills at all.
Service 0/5
Value for money 3/5
Overall sarisfaction after meal 3/5 -

This is a good bakery/restaurant/cafe.
They feature a wide variety of "french style" baked good and a pretty decent menu for dining. They bake a lot of cheese cakes: lemon, NY, Mango, Mocha, Mixed Fruit, Green Tea, Chocolate Grand Marnier, and Strawberry.
The also have the standards: Saint Honore, Viennese Chocolate, Chestnut Cake (layered with imported chestnut puree), and a slew of differently flavoured meringue cakes.
This is the place to take your date or significant other for some deep soulful looks, as you contemplate the universe, or more prosaically, the next few hours to come. Just like Soma, (no sexism intended), it is more a 'chick's place' than a man's. I tried to propose there, it's that kind of place.
But if you have a sweet tooth give them a whirl. I am partial to the fruit flan and the hazelnut chocolate mousse. -
